Whirlpool Parts

The Bearing and Seal Kit is an OEM component for Whirlpool and KitchenAid front-load washing machines. The kit includes 2 center post bearings, 3 agitator shaft seals, and 1 center post seal.

These internal seals help retain lubrication inside the motor shaft housing, while the bearings allow for smooth rotation of critical components like the drive pulley. Continuous belt rubbing and water exposure diminish their lifespan over time.

Symptoms of worn motor seals or bearings include:

• Abnormal vibrations during the wash or spin cycles
• Noisy operation and grinding sounds from the motor
• Difficulty starting or stopping the cycle

This OEM kit is also compatible with Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, and select Kenmore models.

Causes of a bad tub to pump hose can include mineral buildup that restricts water flow, fatigue and wearing that cause cracks or splits, damage from rodents or sharp/heavy objects in the wash load, and deterioration from age that increases brittleness.

Symptoms of a bad hose include:

• Water leaks during or after the drain cycle
• Inability to fully drain water from the tub
• Water remaining in the tub after spinning
